[PATCH 6/6] Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automount

[David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automounting of directories
with follow_link semantics.  This can be used by fstatat()/xstat() users to
permit the gathering of attributes on an automount point and also prevent
mass-automounting of a directory of automount points by ls.
